Dhaka, Nov 17 (UNB) - The 42nd death anniversary of Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani, a great national leader, is being observed Today (Saturday) with due respect.

Bhasani, popularly known as 'Majlum Jananeta', the leader of the downtrodden, passed away on November 17, 1976.

Different social organisations and political parties have chalked out elaborate programmes to observe the day in a befitting manner.
